The apartment was perfectly situated, minutes away from the old town, with the famous central market and the Cathedral very close, vast array of cafes, bars and restaurants to sit in a watch the world go by on those quieter moments. You can walk to the Science museum and the aquarium and to the bio park quite easily with lots to see on the way. It is a bit further to walk to the sea (other side of the park) it is worth the walk though as you see another part of the City. The beaches are sandy and clean with lots of choices of places to eat. The only down side for us was the amount of noise in the square, currently there is building work going on on three sides, which when you are out and about most days is not a problem, it starts at around 8.00am and finishes early evening Monday to Friday, and I am sure come the Summer most of the noisy building work will be finished. There is a restaurant underneath which can get noisy, we kept our windows shut, but could still hear of an evening, it did not cause too much problem, but something you need to be aware of if you have young children. However, this is city life and you cannot get away from noise and as I said once the building work is complete the apartment will look out onto a pleasant square with children’s playground and restaurant. We would certainly return, Falus was just starting when we were leaving (we had a month in the apartment) and we would return for the celebration, we got a slight taste of what was to come and cannot wait to come back and join in the celebration. A blind in the kitchen would help as at night time we felt a bit on view to the diners in the restaurant below. I could not mark the apartment down as everything was good, the heating worked tremendously and everything was new and modern. Just beware of current building work, but it will come to an end.
